my catalytic converter has stopped up and i'm wondering what the alternatives to having a cat are. i'm not putting another one back on my car.

i was wondering if someone made a resonator that would directly replace the stock cat, without having to make flanges or have to weld on my exhaust.

in the mean while i'm just running a gutted cat.

 

well basically if you dont use a stock cat, your o2 sensor will kick the CEL.

depending on how they do emissions tests where you live, you wont have to worry or you can get a test pipe or a hi flow cat for around $100 and an o2 sensor simulator for $30 (see o2 sim install thread below).

most likely either way you go you will need to mod the sensor unless you go stock.

i dont think they make resonators that will fit in there without mods to exhaust system.

 

Test pipe with O2 simulator. Done.

 

well that's not what i want to do.

i have OBD1 with hondata I don't need an o2 simulator

i just want something to keep the noise down

 

I got a high flow cat off ebay.....50 bucks !!! Good as any....hell , it's just an empty pipe

 

lemme rephrase. i've used a test pipe i don't like the way it sounds
i am not putting another cat on my car. period.

i'm looking for an alternative to quiet the car down a bit.

Megan racing makes a resonator that will bolt up. For some reason they call it a test pipe, but i have one and I can say that it is definately not a test pipe. Its a straight through design but it has those resonator baffles/holes in it. Heres a link so you can check it out http://meganracing.com/product...tid=3

 

Why not buy a carsound high flow cat converter for 55 shipped on ebay.

sounds good, cheap, saves the koalas and stuff too

thanks man this is what i was asking about



looks pretty nice

 

I will have mine for sale...it's that exact one....used about 1000 miles.

I am getting a high flow cat put on tomorrow so I'll have the megan one for sale

 

I have no cat ... running test pipe and no CEL.
Why would o2 sensor throw a code when its on the header in front of the cat/pipe?

Just buy a real high flow cat and stop polluting the air </U>
